Although Karsu's family was immigrated from the village of KARSU ( and yes, she was given the name of the village) which is located at the earthquake region they had all the big family members at that village. Karsu together with her parents were always in touch with the family members. She has lost 16 of her family members. Knowing this maybe this song would have more meaning
In Turkish culture we have 'ağıt'. When you are sad something about and you feel deep pain we do that. It's actually pretty simple; when you have pain you scream. Karsu lost so many relative in this earthquake. Type of she is saying is kind of ağıt, normally this song doesn't sing like that, it's more slow.
The show on Dutch tv to collect money to help people affected by the earthquake was a whole evening, this performance made a big impression, very emotional, I assume she did not see the footage of the earthquake aftermath that was projected, singing this song with all emotions was hard enough.
She lost several family members in the earthquake(About 20).The village she is named after is ruined. She choose this song because she found a vocemail massage on her phone off her cousin who was looking for her after her last concert in TURKEY. The massage said "where are you" and since her cousin was one of the victims you understand the emotion.
Performansını izlemek aklıma o gece yaşadıklarımı hatırlattı. Hala o psikolojiden çıkamadım. Deprem olurken fırtına ve yağmur vardı. Artık yağmurlu gecelerde uyuyamıyorum. Sadece yazmak istedim. Çünkü bu performans çok güçlü.
Why did you laugh before? Why didn't you laugh next? Why did you laugh again at the end? (I'm asking the person on the right)... I don't want anyone to die from the earthquake. 50 thousand people died...
There was a big earthquake in Turkey. why didn't you record an earthquake video? You are all the same. When you remember to make money, you all use Turks.
Calm down man. He didn't post any reaction video during that process cuz of the earthquake and the loss of Maestro although he used to post regularly. He explained it in one of his videos published this week. If he recorded an earthquake video, you would probably say that he published the video to use Turks.
